Rolair Hand Carry Air Compressors
Rolair Hand Carry Air Compressors
Rolair hand carry air compressors are portable units you can lift into a truck and carry up stairs. Small quiet models include the 1-gallon AB5PLUS Air Buddy at 56dB, the 2.5-gallon JC10PLUS at 60dB, and the 3-gallon JC20 at 70dB. For more air, look at the 2 HP FC2002 (4.3 gallon), FCOL22LS6 hot dog (5.5 gallon), FC2002HBP6 and VT25BIG (5.3 gallon), and the 200 PSI PS200PC pancake. The VT20TB adds wheels and a tool box, and the GD5000PV5H runs on a 163cc gas engine.
What to Look For
- Noise. Inside occupied homes, the dB-rated quiet models keep the job tolerable.
- Tank and horsepower. 1 to 3 gallons for trim nailers. 4 to 5.5 gallon, 2 HP units for framing and roofing.
- Pump type. Oil-free pumps need less upkeep. Check each listing for pump details.
- Power. Choose the gas GD5000PV5H for sites without power.
